GIS: In its ongoing focus to enhance citizen centricity, MahaRERA has taken an initiative to map
all the registered projects using the GIS function. This will not only provide project location on
the maps for citizens, but also provide information regarding availability of amenities and
distance of the real estate project from the current location.
